We booked an apartment and could park right at the door. The room, dining-sitting area was large and beautifully appointed. The bathroom and bedroom were also modern and decorated in white. The apartment has a washer-dryer for your convenience.

Far beyond expectations—the staff's sincere and friendly service, the resort being a farm where you can see alpacas in the morning and stargaze at night. Highly recommended!

Very cosy, comfortable, clean and amazingly self contained home stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. Host Jenny was very kind and helpful to take care of guests needs by paying attention to smallest of the basic things we might need handy enough placed at the right corners of the house. Also she was generous to lend us universal adaptor for charging.

The heavy rain precluded too much driving around, but locating historical places was rewarding earlier on., With Labour Day celebrations, it meant most people were at home celebrating a day off (which was good) but not so much to participate in through the day. However a very good meal was enjoyed at Star and Garter down the road and I would thoroughly recommend visiting there.

I loved the Victorian quarter and the Steam Punk museum.

I loved the Victorian quarter and the Steam Punk museum. But my favorite was seeing the blue penguins arriving on the shore at the Penguin Sanctuary at the end of the wharf. Totally worth paying for premium seats.

We only stayed one night and did a whirwind tour.

We only stayed one night and did a whirwind tour. Steampunk to brewery to little blue penguins. Tees Street Cafe for breakfast and then we were off. I loved the quirkiness and historical charm and would like to go back. I think 2-3 nights would be more fun. Even 4 would be good. Everything close to each other though so still worth it for even 1 night. Magical!

the train, the old town, the seals the penguins. The Craftwork pub, the robot shop, the criterion, the kids playground, the farmers market...all doable in a weekend and all within easy walking distance. and a drive to Kakanui is worth it too

Not much to do in Oamaru, will recommend visiting the quaint museums, Oamaru heritage museum (pay/donate as you wish) and steampunk museum (NZD$15/pax). both were interactive and we enjoyed it with the helpful stuff. the day was a cloudy and rainy so we opted out of visiting the penguins - they have a live youtube stream of the penguins coming home which we watch. We did visit the penguins tour during the day, which was open to public and saw some fur seals relaxing. To watch the penguins coming home, it's NZD$45 per pax, which we thought was a little expensive. + the weather being bad, we decided to watch them online instead.

Poshtel is a lovely boutique hotel in the centre of Oamaru. The place had a real vibe to it and the owners have some amazing artwork and collectors items. The stay was pleasant and we enjoyed a lovely continental breakfast with others guests while there.

Beautifully appointed, quiet location, lovely outlook. The cabin had everything needed for a short or long stay. Situated on the outer edge of Oamaru so very tranquil but with quick and easy access to town so the best of both worlds.
